Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
At ConvertMD2PDF, we use cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies") to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and maintain your preferences.
Our Cookie Usage
ConvertMD2PDF uses the following types of cookies:
1. Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:
- theme - Stores your light/dark mode preference
- cookieConsent - Stores your cookie consent choice
2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner or turn them on in Cookie settings; until then Google Analytics does not load:

These cookies help us improve the website by identifying popular features and tracking usage patterns. All data is anonymized and aggregated.
Local Storage vs Cookies

- Layout Preference - Remembers vertical/horizontal panel layout choice
- Font Settings - Stores your selected font preferences
- Theme Selection - Light or dark mode preference
Important: Local storage data never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to any server and remains completely private.
